In "Pushing the Limits" by Katie McGarry, the narrator reflects on a deep sense of longing for someone he has lost. He spends endless hours in solitude, plagued by thoughts of her happiness and their shared moments, which amplify his feelings of regret for letting her slip away. This emotional turmoil drives him to crave connection once more.

Choosing to take a chance, he reaches out to her, intertwining their fingers, aware that this moment might be his only opportunity to experience such closeness again. This gesture symbolizes not only his desire to reconnect but also his acknowledgment of the risks involved in love and vulnerability.
